Personalized Christmas Cards

Hi there, it's the last day of Christmas card week. I hope you like what I've shared with you and that you've been inspired to do something different with your Christmas cards and most importantly you create what is best for you and your family. I'm so excited with the personalized preprinted cards that our family will be sending out this year. I'm so thrilled with the quality of the cards we got from Tiny Prints. I hope our friends and family love them as much as I do.

Today's card is another card that I got from Tiny Prints and embellished to make it a little bit more personal. I added some ribbon and * Glossy Accents to this card.

It's really hard to see in the photo but on each of the little berries I put a dot of glossy accents to make the berries shiny and have a little bit of dimension. It was so easy and made such a big difference on the card. The only drawback is that you have to let it dry for a little while. I let mine dry over night just to make sure it was set before I put it in the envelope. Because I put a couple of dots of glossy accents on the inside of the card I let it dry standing up. I just left a whole line of cards on my kitchen table over night and they were ready to go the next morning.

I also added a bit of ribbon on this card. The technique I used on this card is similar to the one I did on the card I shared with you on Monday. I simply cut a slit in the the fold of the card so I could thread the ribbon through. Then I tied a bow on the inside of the card under the sentiment. Under that bow I added a black * chalkboard label sticker, just to make the bow stand out a little bit. By adding that sticker I it added another layer of interest to the card.

Here's what it looks like on the backside of the card.

I also ordered liners for this card. I did this for the same reason that I did on the other cards. I don't want the embellishments to damage the envelope when I mail the card. The liners are every bit as beautiful and of high quality. They are worth every penny!
